Mike Reynolds
Mike Reynolds began his tenure in 2002 at the inception of the winery, shortly after Craig and Kathryn Hall returned from Austria. Since then, Reynolds has led all aspects of the HALL, WALT, and BACA businesses, including production, vineyards, operations, and construction.
Mike was the founding winemaker at HALL and was promoted to President in 2006. He is passionate about vineyards and winemaking and remains an active member of HALL’s blending team. Mike oversaw the design and construction of the new state-of-the-art winemaking facilities and tasting rooms at both HALL Rutherford and HALL St. Helena. He also leads the vineyard acquisition program for Kathryn and Craig Hall, who now own and lease approximately 500 acres of premier vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Santa Barbara counties. His first winemaking experience was with Napa pioneers, Jack and Jamie Davies at Schramsberg. Mike made wine at Schramsberg for 11 years and served as both the Winemaker and General Manager. He then spent two years with Jackson Family Wines where he was General Manager for both the Stonestreet and Vérité wine facilities prior to joining HALL. Mike holds an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business, and a BS in Fermentation Science (winemaking and viticulture), from the University of California, Davis. In addition, Mike is a Board Member of the California Wine Institute, a member of the Young Presidents Organization, and is the current President of Winegrowers of Napa County. Mike's youngest son, Jack, provided the artwork for the HALL "Jack's Masterpiece" Cabernet Sauvignon.
